What's an agreement?
Agreements set out the conditions of employment between:
an employee or group of employees
their employer. From 1 January 2010, only enterprise agreements can be made between employees and employers. Other types of agreements made previously under the Workplace Relations Act 1996 cover the conditions of individual employees, or a group of employees. These include: collective agreements

AWAs (Australian Workplace Agreements)
ITEAs (Individual Transitional Employment Agreements).
Those agreements made prior to 1 January 2010 will continue on until they are terminated or replaced. Enterprise agreementsEnterprise agreements can be made by an employer with a group of employees, or by more than 1 employer with groups of employees. Enterprise agreements can also be made by 1 or more employers and 1 or more unions for a genuine new enterprise before any employees that would be covered by the agreement are employed (these are called greenfields agreements). Agreements made prior to 1 January 2010

All ITEAs, AWAs and collective agreements lodged before 31 December 2009 will continue to operate until they are terminated or replaced. ITEAs and AWAs can no longer be made.

Collective agreementsCollective agreements made before 27 March 2006 were called certified agreements and were lodged with the Australian Industrial Relations Commission. Collective agreements made after 27 March 2006 were lodged with the Workplace Authority. State agreements & the national system

New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Tasmania have referred certain workplace relations matters to the Commonwealth. These referrals took effect on 1 January 2010. State employment agreements that are in operation under a law of one of these States before 1 January 2010 will move into the national workplace relations system as a result of this referral. The agreements will continue to operate until they are terminated or...

...“The state should take no part in employment relations, leaving it entirely to employers and their employees.” Discuss with reference to the modern Australian workplace.
The question of state interference in the relationship between the employee and the employer is an intricate one. In a contemporaneous workplace setting, the perpetual debate regarding the appropriate genesis of employment relation law and its manner of form lingers amongst external and internal entities. Whilst the state provides a suitable scaffold off which employers may base their regulations, the question posed is whether or not government bodies are justified in their intrusion into what is primarily an individual and private matter. What’s more, the state regulation of employment relations inhibits the employer’s ability to adapt to the ever evolving requirements of the tumultuous economic circumstances that force change upon their needs. In the interest of the individual’s livelihood and welfare, however, judicial arbitration by the state limits the exploitive opportunities of the employer that arise in employment relationship. Although both approaches are sound in their reasoning, the point of issue remains thus; efficacy and equity are unattainable without adequate contribution by both parties.
The state can be defined as a ‘critical actor in employment relations’ (Deery, Plowman and Walsh 2000, p.79). It comprises of...

...current Labor government considers collective agreements rather than individual-level agreements are the most efficient and productive form of workplace arrangements for business. Do you agree? Why ? Why not?
The current Labor government considers collective agreements to be more efficient and productive than individual workplace agreements for business. This political ideology has been impacted by the changing nature of work and employment, where collective agreements and collective bargaining are no longer the most efficient and productive form of workplace arrangements for business. With the extrinsic pressures that come with an increasingly global market, business has to look at ways to increase productivity and profitability in order to stay competitive, and this requires greater levels of flexibility in the workforce. The key components of this argument are direct and indirect employee voice, and which is better for both the employee and employer. Are Trade Unions relevant as their bargaining position has been weakened by both a more global market, changes to more atypical labour types and Government legislation that emphasised individualism over collectivism (Hayter 2010).
Collective agreements are agreements between employers and employees which regulate workplace terms and conditions as a collective. This is generally instigated as a result of...

...to maintain the employment relationship. However in times of conflict unions might resort to strikes. Intentionally set up work bans such as absenteeism, low morale, material waste, slackness and inefficiency. This has the affect of shifting the frontier of control on the employee's side, therefore applying pressure on employers to heed to union demands. The frontier of control is basically the onus of power. Originally it sits on management's side as they regulate the workplace and dictate working conditions. Historically as time passes it shifts towards employees as trade unions are formed, allowing unions to voice their opinions on working conditions. The frontier of control is constantly shifting as time passes. As there are many factors which influence its shift, one of the main factors is the role of the State and regulations such as The Workplace Relations Act 1996. These factors would be discussed in detailed with relevant examples of historical cases of industrial dispute being analysed.
The decentralisation of Australian industrial relations means that individual workplaces now have greater responsibility for establishing their own employment arrangements. This allows individual workplaces to negotiate individual employment conditions that reflect their particular circumstances. Although this may seem beneficial for both employer and employee, there has been continuous conflict between employers and...

...The four agreements -by Don Miguel Ruiz
Don Miguel Ruiz was born into a family of healers and raised in rural Mexico by a curandera (healer) mother and nagual (shaman) grandfather. The family anticipated don Miguel would embrace their centuries old legacy of healing and teaching and as a nagual, carry forward the esoteric Toltec knowledge. Instead, distracted by modern life, don Miguel chose to attend medical school and later teach and practice as a surgeon.
Don Miguel began teaching in the United States, with his mother, the Curandera, Sarita in 1987. He taught small groups of people in a small room in Logan Heights, CA. Working with Sarita, he first began with healing practices. As his knowledge of English grew, he realized that he preferred to share his lineage through oral tradition, rather than a healing tradition.
Don Miguel's students grew in numbers and his mythologies and guidance grew with them. He appeared in lectures in Santa Fe, NM, Los Angeles, CA, Sacramento, CA, Santa Rosa, CA and in many other locales. He began to share the wisdom that resulted in the creation of The Four Agreements®, when he witnessed his various students struggling to quiet their minds. Don Miguel created a specific series of practical tools, that when used by anyone, can result in consistent and long-term personal transformation.
The author of The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz, is a surgeon who returned to his heritage as a Toltec shaman...

Introduction
The law governing credit transactions is the Credit Agreement Act 75 of 1980 (hereinafter referred to as the Act) which replaced the Hire-Purchase Act 36 of 1942 as a result of Proclamation AG 17/1981 which states that “Subject to the provisions of this Proclamation, the Credit Agreements Act, 1980 shall apply to the territory of South West Africa.” The act regulates transactions where movable goods are purchased or leased on credit. It also applies to services rendered on credit. According to the Act, a credit agreement is a credit transaction or a leasing transaction or any transaction with the same import regardless of its form or regardless of the fact that the transaction(s) is subject to resolutive or suspensive conditions. For the purpose of this assignment, I will only discuss issues pertaining to credit transaction because the case of Quirk’s Trustees which is central to the question whether there is sale before the last assignment is paid falls with the ambit of this...
